      @@EvanandLemon Visit Anstruther the locals cry it Ainster, in Fife on Scotland's East coast. A couple of very good chippies basically side by side right on the sea front. Just watch the Gulls.
      Nardini's in Largs, West coast isn't bad, or least was always good when I was there.

      Hi, check out a company called "Loch's & Glen's" they own lots of hotels around Scotland and do 1 and 2 week holidays with food and trips included for exceptionally good prices, which are even cheaper outside peak holiday times of the year.

    Most seaside towns with an active fishing pier will usually have very good chippies (as they are usually getting the fish fresh daily straight from the mongers).
    Scenery is lovely throughout Scotland, but the real gem is when you start getting up into the highlands and islands; just be careful for the midgees which are these tiny little flying bugs. They're not harmful though, but they do bite and are very irritating and will make you itch; you'll see them predominantly around heather when it's dry at this time of year (so if you're out hiking anywhere just something to keep in mind).
    When looking for somewhere good to eat (either sit in or take out), best thing I'd suggest is just asking any local and they'll point you in the right direction.
    One other thing to consider trying also is a salt pepper chilli platter from any good Chinese; much like the tikka masala was made here for our palates, the Cantonese community also made the salt pepper chilli seasoning, packed with flavour and very tasty, ideal if you're looking for some comfort take-out food.

    Hi guys, Just found your channel. ❤ We own an Alphard Camper (Alpy). Great wee vans. But very narrow beds. We have to sleep, 'top to tail'.
    I hope you worked out the loo, and where the chemical flush goes 😊.
    We currently live in Stirling, but have lived in Fife and Fort William. We could give you so many recommendations and secret spots to visit off the tourist trail. But you will have planned your own adventure. So I will narrow it down. Castle Tioram. Anstruther & Crail in Fife. And Stirling ( a lot quieter than Edinburgh). There is a great parking spot right underneath the castle.
    All the best. Lang may yer lum reek 😊

    The convoy van you had to follow is because there was a huge landslide in October that blocked the road, that's a temporary road that's been put in until they figure out what to do as the hill is still in a precarious state - I came through it today, weather was nothing like you had!
